Is marrying my own sister a good idea?
I am Zoroastrian and marrying my own sister would net me a very nice vassal opinion boost. However, I also run the risk of undesirable genetic traits (inbred). My question is, if you have played the game through, which effect generally outweighs the other?
Best Answer
It's usually fine, especially if you have a succession law which lets you control who inherits, such as elective. Children with the inbred trait are relatively rare (Zoroastrians are less likely to get the trait) and they often die anyway.
For the best of both worlds, marry your sister for the opinion and piety and take concubines (ideally with good traits) for breeding.

Answer 2
I think it's more of a good idea in CK2 than in real life. Unless you're playing moralistically you can easily have more than one kid. Just make sure that the kid that inherits isn't the one with the inbred. Kill any of your children that are... defective.
